This show was first broadcast in 2007. The science is still valid,
and the technology hasn't improved
We asked experts about the breakdown of nuclear waste storage
materials with time, and the problems
associated with cleanup of the Maralinga nuclear test site.
Dr Ian Farnan, University of Cambridge, talks to Charles Willock
about
possibly significant errors in estimates of nuclear waste storage
times.
Alan Parkinson, nuclear engineer, talks with Charles Willock
about
the mishandling of nuclear waste at Maralinga.
Presented by: Emily Fearn
Panelled by: Celine Steinfeld
Produced by Charles Willock and Ian Woolf assisted by Patrick
